From bestselling author, Ann Marston, comes a gripping new tale of memory and dream. Colin Fraser was a pilot at home and happy in the air, whether strapping on a 737 or his old Stinson. He'd dreamed of flying since childhood, and the dream had sustained him. But when that dream turned to a nightmare of a broken airplane smashing into rocks and water, he began to wonder if the dream was his own ... or was it someone else's memory? And if so, whose? Finding the answer takes him on a journey to the wilds of northern Canada, and to the edge of reality...and sanity.… (meer)

Early Reviewer Book. This is a story about a man who loves planes and flying. When he is 16 years old, his parents tell him he is adopted. As an adult he has flashbacks of situations he cannot have experienced. He goes in search of his birth parents. This is a good story and I enjoyed reading it. A bit difficult for me to believe the supernatural aspect of the story but I can't discount it. All in all a good read. ( )

I received this book from LibraryThing. This is a fascinating story. The storyline is intriguing and engrossing, it has some drama and some romance as well as a supernatural element. I found myself completely captivated. It is a unique book and one I enjoyed reading. ( )

An enjoyable book with a distinctive character. It has the detailed emotional narrative style of a romance novel with a modestly masculine pace, plot and character development. This difference from other novels is refreshing. Some readers drawn to the title, though, might prefer faster action. Marston appears to be playing to two very different reader genders simultaneously which entails some risks. On balance, she pulls it off though the fusion of the protagonist's hyper-emotion and super speed behind the joystick at the very end gets a bit unwieldy.

In an unconventional sense, the main character seems narcissisitic. He is not arrogant or unable to have empathy in any traditional sense of how we use the term. Rather he seems to be trapped at the boundary of past and present trying to determine who or what the reflection he sees really is deep in the past. He is Narcissus staring into a reflective surface but uncertain of who actually stares back. Unlike the mythical figure, however, he becomes unstable. The instability ultimately emancipates him.

I know nothing about aviation, but I suspect readers who do will find Marston's use of detailed pilot culture engaging, especially her male readers. ( )
